Vegan Feijoada

Feijoada is a traditional Portuguese colonial dish popular in Brazil. It is normally cooked with black beans and flavored by pork or beef (extras). We’ll veganize these unsavory bits by supplementing lean vegetable leftovers for a flavor that’s captivating–not nearly so suety, and far less foul.
